Missouri River landscape
Description
Shallow water delayed the steamer's progress on May 14 above the mouth of the Niobrara. When the Yellow Stone ran aground on a submerged sandbank, several of its passengers went ashore to stretch their legs and explore the banks. While Bodmer made another of his Missouri River landscapes at this place, Maximilian caught a softshelled turtle and collected a specimen of wild turnip to add to his North American collection
